I would love to print this out so that I can refer to it later, but when I try to copy it to Word, it comes over with the gray background and is hard to see.

I always love your posts. They ha...Mrs. Bontrager,<br /><br />I always love your posts. They have been so helpful! A few follow-up questions if you have time to answer:<br />1) You mention limiting outside activities (which I agree), but how did you handle teaching your children so many musical instruments. Did you and your husband teach them? If not, what advice do you have for fitting in learning a instrument into your schedule? I see so much benefit in learning an instrument and I would like to make this a part of our lives. But as our family grows, I don't know how I'll make it all work.<br />2) Requiring obedience, could you share some practical ways you helped correct your children if they disobeyed? What were some effective consequences that you used? This is the area I struggle with the most.

It looks like it would be along Skyline Drive in Virginia which is about an hour from where I live. Would be interesting to know if it's the same place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465653125997141913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050230488064224810.post-60588284037558318982018-08-30T08:25:42.959-05:002018-08-30T08:25:42.959-05:00Thank you for sharing!

I used Manager's of Their Homes and loved it.<br />I use a planner Homemakers Friend Planner by Sue Hooley. It's keeps me organized that's for sure.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188723188448901080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050230488064224810.post-43084568425634134672018-08-29T20:46:57.472-05:002018-08-29T20:46:57.472-05:00This post was beautifully written and so timely.
